Chapter 5.3, Problem 2P

Find the slope and $y$-intercept of the graph of each equation.

$y=-5x+13$

To determine

To Find: The slope and $y-$ intercept of a line $y=-5x+13$ .

Answer to Problem 2P

Slope of line is $m=-5$ and y intercept is $c=13$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Equation of line $y=-5x+13$

Concept and Formula Used:

Slope intercept form of line is $y=mx+c$ where $m$ is the slope and $c$ is the $y-$ intercept of a line.

Calculation:

It is given that equation of line is $y=-5x+13$

To find slope and y intercept of line compare the equation of line with slope intercept form of the line

  $\begin{array}{l}y=mx+c\\ \text{on comparing}\\ m=-5\&c=13\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Slope of line is $m=-5$ and y intercept is $c=13$
